Hi, My name is Bill and I am updating my homepage to reflect a wonderful event in my life...marriage, September 18, 2010, to my best friend Tara...known to many of you as auntietk here on Renderosity.
We "met" shortly after I joined Renderosity in August 2008. We share a love for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting to share photographic excursions and information with other Renderositians ( is "Renderositians" even a word? ). LOL
As for me, it seems like I've been taking pictures all my life but I didn't get serious enough to purchase my first Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera until May 2008. In May 2009 I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
My subject areas of interest include absolutely everything but with a frequent return to airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
If you are curious, I am pictured above in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport. I used to fly and train others to fly airplanes. That will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation. Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.
Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Dear Mandy! Thank you for remembering! I will speek to your Humans! How could they keep you away from the computer!!! LOL... Thanks Bill - the day on Monday just slipped passed - too much work!!! I appreciate the thoughts and wishes and this wonderful image of dear Mandy on the beach! It is perfect and I would have loved to be there with you all! Hugs!

I love this shot of Mandy. I love it. She looks totally like a dog! She's either checking something out, or eating something, or sniffing, or maybe contemplating her shadow & where it came from. And she's nicely framed by the long log & piece of driftwood perpendicular to it. A beautiful span of beach too...I wonder what she's thinking there? You don't have an ocean in Kansas (the last I looked) or a Bay or whatever; I wonder what's going through her head: It's probably a wonder-land to her! Great idea to have her write the wish too, and a loving gift for Carin. Happy Birthday Carin! And many many more!
